1. Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Terms of Service

This Agreement is between you (“you”, “your”), as an authorized user of the Services, and J2 Web Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “eVoice,” or “we”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Services” is defined as any and all services provided by the Company to you either now or in the future and “eVoice account” is defined as the eVoice Receptionist account or the eVoice Plus account, or any other eVoice branded account through which you access the Services. “Number” is defined as each assigned eVoice telephone number. If you are an administrator of an eVoice account, you are responsible for your users’ adherence to these Terms of Service.

These Terms of Service, together with any operating rules, policies, price schedules or other supplemental documents published from time to time by the Company (collectively, the “Agreement”), constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and you regarding the Services, and supersedes all prior agreements between the Company and you regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. By using the Services, you confirm your acceptance of, and agree to be bound by, this Agreement. If you are using the Services on behalf of your employer, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on your employer’s behalf.

For Canadian Users: Please note that when you place an order to purchase on this Website, it constitutes an offer to purchase and remains subject to the Company’s acceptance. Goods or services listed or described on this Website constitute an invitation to make an offer to purchase.

If you begin, but fail to complete the sign up process for Services, the Company may contact you in an effort to help you sign up for the Services or another service provided by the Company. You hereby authorize the Company to make such contact, even if you ultimately determine not to sign up for any of the services provided by the Company.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, this Agreement will govern the use of any new features that augment or enhance the current Services, including but not limited to the release of new Company software and Services. In the case of any violation of this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to seek all remedies available by law and in equity.

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age or, as applicable, the age of majority in the country, state and/or province in which you reside, and that you possess the legal right and ability to enter into this Agreement. You agree to be financially responsible for your use of the Services (as well as for use of your account by others, including minors living with you) and to comply with your responsibilities and obligations as stated in this Agreement.

No Emergency Calling:  The Services are not a replacement for traditional wireline services, nor are they a replacement for cellular services. You cannot make emergency calls using the Services.  If you attempt to make a 911 call while using the Services from your desktop or laptop computer, you will receive an error message stating that the call cannot be completed. If you attempt to make a 911 call using the eVoice mobile application on your smartphone, you will receive an error message stating that the call cannot be completed. But use of the Services from a cellular phone does not interfere with your ability to place a 911 call from your cellular device as you would typically place such a call. It is only if you attempt to place an emergency call using the Services through the actively running eVoice mobile application that such a call will not complete. You agree to advise any users of the Services that the Services do not provide emergency calling functionality. Accordingly, you must ensure that you and any other users of the Services have other communications services available to you or to them so that you and they are able to place emergency calls.

Limited Text-to-911 Capabilities:  Text-to-911 provides users with the ability to send text messages to emergency call takers.  Please note that text-to-911 functionality is only available in limited locations throughout the U.S. Public Safety Answering Points, referred to as “PSAPs” must have implemented the necessary capabilities to receive such emergency text messages. If you attempt to send a text-to-911 message and the PSAP is not capable of receiving it, you will receive a bounce-back message informing you that the emergency text was not received by the relevant PSAP. Because not all PSAPs are capable of receiving text-to-911 messages, it is preferable for you to contact emergency services by voice calls. But you cannot use our Services to contact emergency services through a voice call. Accordingly, you must ensure that you have other communications services available so that you are able to place emergency calls and are not solely reliant on the eVoice mobile application’s text-to-911 functionality for contacting emergency services. For additional information about text-to-911 services, please refer to the Federal Communication Commission’s Text-to-911 Guide.

6. Privacy Policy

Information collected by the Company about you will be treated in accordance with our privacy policy (” Privacy Policy“). This Privacy Policy can be found at http://www.evoice.com/privacy. If the Company decides to change its privacy practices, the Company will post a revised Privacy Policy at this location so you are always aware of what information the Company collects, how the Company uses it and under what circumstances, if any, the Company discloses it. The Company will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time the information was collected. If the Company makes any material changes to its privacy practices or material changes to how your information is treated, the Company will notify you via email. You will have a choice as to whether or not the Company uses your information in this different manner. However, if you have deleted/deactivated your eVoice account, then you will not be contacted, nor will your personal information be used in this new manner.

Privacy Notice Regarding V2T Services: The provision of the V2T Services may involve the review of your voicemails by third party human operators (“Operators”) and you consent to these Operators hearing and transcribing your voicemails into text. These Operators will not receive any personal information about your account except as strictly required to perform the Services. The Company will not read, listen to or disclose to any third parties your voicemails, emails, voicemail transcriptions or other communications transmitted through the Services except as specifically set forth herein, as required to ensure proper operation of the Services or as otherwise authorized by the Privacy Policy or by law. Where the Company is unable to convert a message to text due to poor dictation, noisy environment, poor phone connection or drop-outs, language, unacceptable content or any other reason, the Company will typically notify you by email that you have received a voicemail message (depending on the specific service you have subscribed to), but the email will not contain a voicemail transcription, only an audio file version of the voicemail.

The Company is not responsible for any errors, omissions or objectionable content in the transcribed text, even if it is the result of negligence. The Company is not responsible if you do not receive voicemail transcriptions due to an incorrect or nonworking email or SMS address or if you select to receive transcriptions via a method (e.g., email or SMS) that is incapable of receiving the text message. The Company is not responsible for incorrect email addresses or email inboxes that do not properly receive the email notification option you select.

You are fully responsible for the contents of your transmissions through the Services. The Company simply acts as a passive conduit for you to send, receive, store, and retrieve information of your own choosing. However, we reserve the right to take any action with respect to the Services that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, if we believe you or your information may create liability for the Company, compromise or disrupt the Services for you or other customers, or cause the Company to lose (in whole or in part) the services of the Company’s ISPs or other suppliers

Customer may not use the Services with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value.

a. Spam
You further agree not to transmit or upload any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation. The Services make use of the Internet for you to send and receive information of your own choosing. As a result, your conduct is subject to Internet regulations, policies and procedures. If you transmit or are otherwise connected with any email, fax, text message, or voice “spam” or other unsolicited marketing message, you agree to pay the Company its actual damages if those damages can be reasonably calculated. If actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated, you agree to pay the Company liquidated damages of ten dollars (US $10.00) for each piece of “spam” or unsolicited marketing message transmitted from or otherwise connected with your eVoice account. You acknowledge that if actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated, these liquidated damages are a reasonable estimation of such damages and are not a penalty. You also agree that the Company may charge such damages to your credit card or other payment method you use to pay for the Services.

b. Prohibited Charges
You agree that you are not authorized to charge products or services provided to you or at your request to the eVoice number assigned to you by the Company and that you will not request or otherwise cause any third-party to charge any such products or services to such number. Any such charges will give the Company the right to immediately terminate or suspend your eVoice account without notice and you further understand and agree that the Company can immediately charge your credit card or other payment method you use to pay for the Services for these products or services.

c. Unsolicited Fax Advertisement/Spam Drop-Box Policy.

a. Unsolicited Fax Advertisement Policy. The transmission of unsolicited fax advertisements is illegal in the United States under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) ( http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ consumerfacts/unwantedfaxes.pdf) and in the European Union under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, and is also illegal under the laws of a number of other countries, states and provinces. Distribution of unsolicited fax advertisements through the Services is prohibited and may be considered a material violation of this Agreement. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Agreement and pursue other legal remedies available to it; or any combination of these remedies. Notwithstanding the above, the Company’s distribution of advertising to its customers is not considered unsolicited fax advertising based upon your acceptance of this Agreement.

At the Company’s option and without further notice, the Company may use technologies and procedures, such as filters, that may terminate the transmission of such unsolicited fax advertisements without delivering them.

If you believe that you are in receipt of an unsolicited fax advertisement, and if the fax contains a telephone number, fax number or other contact information to “unsubscribe” from receipt of additional junk faxes, please unsubscribe accordingly. Please contact customer service if you have questions regarding unsolicited fax advertisements.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company has any and all rights (but no obligation) to assert any and all legal claims available against any third party as a result of your receipt of any unsolicited fax advertisements—including, but not limited to, claims under the TCPA and similar laws of any other country, state or province—and to the extent you do have any rights to bring any such claims, you hereby assign any and all such rights to the Company as consideration for its provision of the Services.

Because fax numbers may be reassigned to other customers in the event your account is canceled, and to ensure the best possible service for all customers, you are not permitted to “opt in” to receive, on your fax number, facsimile advertisements of the commercial availability or quality of any property, goods or services from persons with whom you have not established a business relationship.

b. Spam Drop-Box Policy. The Company does not permit its customers to use fax numbers as “drop-boxes” for responses to email or fax spam offers. If you believe you are in receipt of email, or fax, spam that uses an fax number as a “drop-box” for responses, and if the email or fax contains an email address, telephone number, fax number or other contact information to “unsubscribe” from receipt of additional messages, please unsubscribe accordingly. Please contact customer service if you believe your fax number has been used as a “drop-box.”

The Company appreciates your assistance in enforcing and complying with these policies and looks forward to continuing to make your experience a positive one.

8. Management Via The Internet

We will provide you with an internet web site address where you can log in to manage your service, view calls, receive support, and manage basic account information. Although some functions of your service may be configured simply by using your telephone, you may find that some functionality is controlled only through the web site interface.

YOU HEREBY RELEASE THE COMPANY AND EACH OF ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES AND CLAIMS IN EXCESS OF THIS LIMITATION.

11. Charges

a. Prices
You agree to pay all charges for your use of the Services at the prices then in effect for your plan. The Company reserves the right to charge value-added taxes (“VAT”), sales or other taxes on the Services as it deems appropriate and the Company reserves the right to change prices or institute new charges for access to or use of the Services. All pricing changes will be sent to you by email and you are responsible for regularly reviewing such pricing information to obtain timely notice of such changes.

Continued use or payment of the Services or non-termination of your eVoice account after changes are sent constitutes your acceptance of the prices as modified by the prices sent. To view your current account balance, along with billing details and any accumulated charges, please click on “Admin Settings” after logging in to the eVoice Website.

Conference calls are billed on a per “leg” basis, each conference participant constitutes a “leg.” For example, if there are four participants on a conference call lasting ten minutes, it will consume forty of your minutes.

b. Usage Charges
You will incur charges in addition to the minimum monthly or annual subscription charge (“Usage Charges”) if your combined sent and received fax pages, received voicemail messages, received V2T messages, sent and received text messages, minutes spent initiating and using the audio conferencing feature, and inbound and outbound telephone minutes usage exceeds that permitted by your plan.

If you are using the Services from certain locations, you may also incur charges levied by your Internet service provider, online service provider and/or long distance carrier to access the Services or the Company.

If a V2T message delivered to your wireless phone exceeds a single SMS in length, your carrier may deliver the V2T message as a series of consecutive SMS messages which will utilize more of your text messages under your plan. Additional auto attendants or extension phone numbers may be obtained for an additional monthly fee.  Professionally recorded greetings may also be obtained for an additional fee. For information on these additional fees, please see FAQs.

c. Should a recipient of your Text Message have an SMPP destination operator who charges a termination fee or “pass through” amount for delivery or receipt of each Text Message, the Company reserves the right, at its sole and exclusive discretion, to either: (i) pass through such termination or “pass through” charges on to you; or (ii) not to deliver the subject Text Message to your designated recipient.

12. Billing

a. Charges
Charges for your eVoice account balance are due monthly or annually, in accordance with your plan and will be billed by the Company. Your activation fee and monthly or annual service fees, as applicable, are payable in advance and are completely non-refundable. You agree to pay our Services rates and any applicable taxes including value-added taxes (“VAT” where applicable) for your service. You should expect to pay a monthly fee for a predetermined number of minutes, extensions, messages and/or other services as specified in your plan. Unused minutes included within a billing period do not carry forward to the next billing period. Likewise, unused credits do not carry forward to the next billing period.

You are responsible for all calls/minutes, even those originating from unintended callers (e.g. wrong number calls) or those originating from yourself during the setup and administration of your Number, as well as any other use of your account. Lack of usage of your account shall have no effect on your minimum billing amount. For instance, if you do not use your account at all, you are still obligated to your plan’s minimum service fees due hereunder this Agreement.

You agree that the Company may submit charges for your annual service fee annually and for your monthly service fee monthly, plus all applicable Usage Charges, and Late Fees as defined in Section 12(g) herein, in each case, without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) (“Verification Procedures”) that you have terminated this authorization. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice. If you sign up for more than one eVoice number, your first payment for such additional eVoice number(s) may be prorated to coincide with the monthly/annual anniversary of your first eVoice number. The Company may apply additional charges to your account if your payment method fails or your account is past due. Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges. If you have any questions regarding any charges that have been applied to your eVoice account, you must contact Customer Service within thirty (30) days of the charge date.

b. Pre-Paid Discounts
If you subscribed for Services pursuant to a special offer granting a pre-paid discount for a fixed term, your pre-paid fees are payable in advance and are COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE. In addition, your initial service fee for the next term immediately following your pre-paid period will be PRE-AUTHORIZED AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD LIMIT and will be immediately charged to your credit card, without further authorization from you, upon the expiration of such pre-paid period, unless you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Verification Procedures) that you have terminated this authorization. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company could reasonably act on your notice.

c. Payment
Payment of your eVoice account balance is due monthly or annually, in accordance with your payment plan, the currency in which it is billed, and must be made by the credit or debit card (hereinafter “credit card” will refer to both credit and debit cards) designated by you for eVoice use and transactions or through other methods, including monthly invoicing (if you meet certain criteria) or pre-payment by check or credit card. If your eVoice account is a qualified business account and is approved by the Company for corporate billing, charges will be accumulated, identified by Customer identification number and invoiced on a monthly basis.

If you chose to pay your account balance by credit card, each time you use the Services, or allow or cause the Services to be used, you agree and reaffirm that the Company is authorized to charge your designated card. If the credit card payment is not received by the Company from the card issuer (or its agent or affiliate), you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by Company. Your card issuer’s agreement governs your use of your designated card, and you must refer to such agreement (not this Agreement) with respect to your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You are responsible for overdraft fees and all other fees charged by your card issuer. You agree that the Company may (at its option) accumulate charges incurred during your monthly billing cycle and submit them as one or more charges during or at the end of each cycle, and that the Company may delay obtaining authorization from your card issuer until submission of the accumulated charges. This means that accumulated charges may appear on the statement you receive from your card issuer. In order to avoid interruptions in the Services caused by rejected credit or debit card charges, the Company reserves the right to update your credit or debit card details (such as expiration dates or new card numbers) where this is not prohibited by law. You understand and agree that the Company is entitled to obtain such updated card details, store them and use them to bill charges. To ensure continued access to the Services, you may provide other methods of payment (i.e. a second or third credit card) which will be charged if the primary payment method is declined.

d. Promotions
The Company may offer promotions which may include free trial periods, free usage allocations, limited-time money-back guarantees or other promotional elements. The following general guidelines apply to all such promotions, but each offer is also subject to the associated terms and conditions of each offer:

Money-back guarantee: If the plan you selected includes a money-back guarantee, then during the specified promotional period you may receive a full refund for the base charge you paid for that promotional period by following the cancellation procedures at https://support.evoice.com/cancel. You must cancel before the end of the promotional period to be eligible for this refund. If you exceed the usage limits of the promotional period, one or more of the following may occur: (i) you will be upgraded to a paid customer for that service and your credit card on file will be charged immediately, (ii) you will be notified that you have exceeded your offer limits and given the option to cancel or upgrade, or (iii) your account will be suspended pending further action by you or by Company.

Free trial offer: If the plan you selected includes a free trial, you may use the service for a specified period of time before being charged and generally there are usage limits associated with this free trial period. If you cancel your account prior to the end of such free trial period, and you have not exceeded the usage limits included in the offer, you will not be billed. If you exceed the usage limits included in the free trial offer you signed up for, one or more of the following actions may occur: (i) you will be upgraded to a paid customer for that service and your credit card on file will be charged immediately, (ii) you will be notified that you have exceeded your offer limits and given the option to cancel or upgrade, or (iii) your account will be suspended pending further action by you or by Company.

e. Refund Policy
Charges applied to your account are generally non refundable. Refunds, if applicable, at the sole discretion of Company, or as outlined in specific promotional offers, are often issued after the initial charges have been billed, as originally scheduled, on the applicable billing statement, even if the refund request was made prior to the close of the billing cycle. Refunds are not provided on other optional service fees, such as voice-over fees. There shall be a limit of one refund per account, company or person. Refunds will only be issued to the original credit card used at the time of purchase. Refunds are non-transferable. You must retain a copy of your refund request and a copy of our confirmation, with date/time stamps, until receipt of the refund. Refunds will be issued within 30 days of confirmation. Termination of your account by Company, due to your breach of this Agreement, or other provided terms or policies, disqualifies any and all entitlements to potential refunds.

f. Providing Notification to Company
You must promptly notify the Company of changes to: (a) the account number or expiration date of your designated credit card; (b) your billing address for the designated credit card; and (c) the name of each minor whom you have authorized to use your eVoice account. You must also promptly notify the Company if your card is canceled (e.g., for loss or theft).

g. Late Fees
An administrative late fee of $4.95 USD or CAD (or the approximate equivalent in local currency) may be charged to your account each time full payment of your outstanding balance is not received by the payment due date.  You agree that the Company may submit charges for late fees without further authorization from or notice to you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated or canceled your Services, or wish to change your designated card(s).  Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

13. Termination or Suspension 

1. By You
   You may terminate your eVoice account at any time, with or without cause, upon notice. Instructions for how to give notice to the Company that you want to terminate your account are provided at https://support.evoice.com/cancel and must be followed in order to effect termination. A Customer Service representative will assist you with terminating your eVoice account in accordance with the Company’s Verification Procedures. Upon termination of your eVoice account, the Customer Service representative will provide you with a cancellation number. Your account will not be deemed terminated unless and until you receive the cancellation number.
2. By the Company
   The Company may terminate or suspend your eVoice account at any time, with or without cause, upon notice. The Company reserves the right to do so without prior notice, provided that the Company will attempt to confirm such termination or suspension by subsequent notice. In addition, the Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate your eVoice account without notice upon rejection of any credit card charges or if your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to the Company when the Company believes you are liable for the charge. We may assess an additional fee of twenty-five dollars ($25) for any check or charge (credit card or bank account) returned for nonpayment, or for any item required to be processed manually outside of our automatic billing/charging system, and this fee may be automatically added to your bill in these events. If your account is suspended or terminated and the Company later reactivates your account, the Company may also charge you a re-activation fee of $25 (in addition to any Late Fee(s) you may also be charged for a delinquent account), in the Company’s sole and exclusive discretion. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal rights or remedies available to the Company. The Company reserves the right to limit use of the Services or to terminate any account if we believe unreasonable usage has occurred on such account or if the Services are used in a manner that is not permitted by this Agreement. The Company also reserves the right to take any action with respect to the Services that it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion if the Company believes you or your usage may create liability for the Company, compromise or disrupt the Services for you or others or cause the Company to lose (in whole or in part) the services of the Company’s suppliers. The Company reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, how to address any issues or disputes that arise regarding account access or entitlement to specific telephone numbers. In certain situations, the Company may decide to suspend or terminate the account and/or any telephone numbers associated with the account.
   The Company may automatically terminate or suspend your eVoice Free account without notice if: (i) if there is no activity in your account during any continuous sixty (60) day period (for purposes of this determination, advertisements and informational messages sent by the Company are not considered faxes received); (ii) you or an intermediary blocks or filters any emails sent by or on behalf of the Company to the email account(s) associated with your eVoice Free account; or (iii) you opt out of receiving advertising messages sent to you by the Company or its affiliates.
3. Fair Use Policy
   Any “unlimited” plans (where you pay a flat fee per month and do not pay a per-minute fee for continental United States usage) are governed by this Fair Use policy. We reserve the right to disconnect or modify your Services if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that your usage exceeds more than two (2) times the average level of usage for eVoice® customers within any thirty (30) day period. For purposes of this policy, “usage” means the total aggregate combination of the following (as applicable): the number of received fax pages, sent and received text messages, received voicemail messages, received V2T messages, minutes spent initiating and using the audio conferencing feature, and inbound and outbound telephone minutes. “Unlimited” usage areas include the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and select international locations determined at our discretion. Other areas are subject to a per-minute fee.

SOME NON-US JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS TO BE PLACED ON YOUR RIGHT TO PORT THE TELEPHONE NUMBER ASSIGNED TO YOU, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY IF YOU OR THE NUMBER(S) ASSIGNED TO YOU ARE LOCATED IN SUCH A JURISDICTION

THE PORTING PROCESS CAN BE LENGTHY; IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAINTAIN YOUR ACCOUNT WITH THE COMPANY DURING THE PORTING PROCESS, YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR ACCOUNT IN AN ACTIVE STATUS AND NOT TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT UNTIL THE PORTING OUT IS COMPLETE. REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE PORT OUT IS COMPLETE, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY ALL APPLICABLE ACCOUNT FEES WITH RESPECT TO THE TELEPHONE NUMBERS UNTIL YOU FORMALLY TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE.

23. Agreements to Arbitrate All Disputes

1. You and the Company agree that all disputes and claims between you and the Company shall be settled by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes, but is not limited to any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Services, the Company software, the eVoice Website, the Agreement or any aspect of the relationship between you and the Company. You agree that, by agreeing to the Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration provision does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against the Company on your behalf. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your account.
2. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company should be addressed to: ATTN: Legal Department, 114 5^th Avenue, 15 ^th Floor, New York, NY 10011. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If the Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after the Company receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000.
3. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by the Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of the Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Unless the Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place by video or telephone conference. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, the Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator is not authorized to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
4. The Company may make a written settlement offer anytime before an arbitrator is selected. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of the Company’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if the Company did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then the Company will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
5. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
